Ang ironic lang na ang title nito is "You and other Endings" pero parang ayoko pang matapos HAHA.
Besides the fact na may work ako kaya sobrang limited na 'yung oras ko para magsulat, I think consciously kong pinatagal 'yung ending nito? I finished the last narration nung November 20 pa. Yung last part with the Instagram posts? November 27 ko pa natapos.
And now, itong first and last A/N naman ay ngayong December 3.
I've been meaning to do this (kasi nga busy ako HAHA) but for some reason. . . pinapatagal ko talaga eh. And I know it's just me. This time around kasi, mismong sina Linnie at Teo, gusto nang mamahinga haha.
No, really. . . as much as I want na dugtungan pa at gamitin lahat ng scenes na nilista ko para sa kanila, ayaw na nila. Gusto na yata talaga nilang mamahinga sa isa't isa? Maybe they're just impatient to begin with the lifetime they've been yearning for?
I don't know hehe. Wala akong alam sa plano nila at the moment.
Right now, what I'm sure of is that whatever they're planning. . . gusto nilang gawin sa background. No pressure from their families. No pressure from friends. Sa kanila lang muna. I think they already mentioned this sa 130?
A friend even asked kung bakit ganun ka-realistic, na-engage na raw ba ako?
HAHAHA oh, well.
Linnie and Teo have always been realistic. Ang daming comments sa buong #yaoeWP na. . . hmm,"to love and be loved like this". I know we're all aware na fictional lang 'to but I love how I write (or wrote kasi tapos na huhu) all the characters of #yaoeWP.
Realistic silang lahat, pati mga problema nila. Pati achievements nila.
Because they feel real, they comfort us. They feel like real people na nag-eexist somewhere. Baka iba lang pangalan. Baka nasa ibang region or city lang.
Writing this story has ups and downs. The story itself has ups and downs. And I'm happy with the result, 'yung overall feel. Pandemic kasi ang setting ng #yaoeWP. Besides the romance, gusto ko rin sanang ma-capture 'yung pagka-realistic ng mga problema during (and after the) pandemic.
I know everyone had a hard time during the pandemic. May repercussions 'yun na until now, nararanasan natin. I wanted to write Linnie and Teo's story within those repercussions. I didn't want to avoid them, kasi kung ginawa ko 'yun, hindi na realistic.
And worse, ang dating nun sa 'kin is tinapalan ko ng romance 'yung struggles na naranasan natin (and families natin) during the pandemic.
Umpisa pa lang, malinaw na sakin na ganun ang gusto kong gawin.
Dahil dun, I was shit scared na walang magmamahal kina Linnie, Teo, Dolly, Jo, Pau, Lana, Enzo, and Eli kasi nga di ba. . . we read fiction to escape our reality. [sighs] Ayun. I was shit scared kasi ang sinundan nito is #yaocWP which was fluff. I know na may mga nag-expect (tapos na-disappoint) na fluff din tong #yaoeWP.
